Change blackest point to pure black and whitest to pure white - Julienroy - 03-19-2018
Hello,
Quick question, I'd like to make the black to white range broader by changing the blackest point of my picture (let's say very dark grey) to pure black (#000000) and the whitest point (very pale grey) to pure white (#ffffff). The rest of shades should follow accordingly.
I've been messing with the curves in "colors" with no results. I know it's doable in Photoshop, I'd like to use the same function in gimp.
Thanks in advance,
Julien

The Levels Tool has colourpickers which lets you define a white and a black point.

Curves should have worked if used properly. So will Levels (drag the left and right handles in "Input levels" to the values of the black and white points).
